Hi,
I just tried the current bk linuxppc_2_4 on my CHRP LongTrail with Sym53c875
card. The Sym53c8xx driver fails downloading the SCSI scripts, and keeps trying
ad infinitum.
At first sight, the kernel seems to work when I disable the Sym53c8xx driver
with `sym53c8xx=excl:0x1400'. It boots to a shell from the MESH.
PCI seems to be OK. Only changes are that the sl82c105 IDE got assigned some
I/O ports now.
Everything worked fine in the 2.4.1 from a month ago.
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
Geert

Er, the very current 2_4? Paulus just commited some changes which boil down
to we have phys_to_bus (or so) and can use the stock driver.

And, the 2_4/2_5 merged tree i've got locally and will be pushing into 2_5
shortly works w/ my 53c895 anyways (Booted and got 3 disks on 2 buses).

I have a 2_5 kernel, a Motorola MVME5100 with a sym53c875 based SCSI board
and it works fine.

My hose resources were not set up, so phys_to_bus() returned NULL. Wouldn't it
be better to return pa in that case, or at least print an error to the console?

Right, I'll look into this. Could you, on your side, figure out why they
weren't
setup properly ? The hose resource code is new (Paulus), I didn't yet dive in
it's gory details and it works fine on pmacs.
Ben.
